This was a pretty out of left field signing, although the Leafs have been trying to trade for him for awhile.

At a glance, good AAV and term is decent. This is a good mid-line 2-way forward. He can move up and down your lineup. More or less Kerfoot level swiss-army knife player.

 

[klmdg]

Nice

Wanted him when he was on Nashville

 

[Knies iT]

He's 31 in September and you give him a 4 year deal?

 

[kerk]

solid guy for the third line who can fill in higher up when necessary

 

[nuck]

Hope its the Seattle guy and not the Calgary guy.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Love this

2.1m seems little expensive doesnt it? Ive wanted Jarnkrok on the Leafs like him just feels little rich

 

[VanW27]

Like it, I had him as a target. Versatile player, all FW positions (LW/RW/C) and all situations (PK/PP/ES) good two-way player.

A nice 3rd line player.

He's only had 580ish nhl games, his body is far from beat up, for an all situation versatile player like him 2.1 is a great deal

I think this precludes a Kerfoot trade. They're players in the same kind of vein.

As it is, they've erased the rest of their cap space. For the price of Jarnkrok, I think it would've made more sense to add 2 cheaper bets (guys like ZAR or Milano or Heinen).

35 in the final year of a deal is literally standard lol. Sick signing

It's pretty good for a 35-40 point 2-way player. He's not sexy or anything but he's a hard worker and all that.

That's a very nice responsible 2-way middle six player who has been trusted defensively on very good defensive teams and has produced at a 20gl/40pt pace over the last few years.

he plays a legit defensively reliable center game when needed, but is a good winger too.

Very nice.

That would be Holl's money gone.

35 in the final year of a deal is literally standard lol

A four year deal for him ends at age 34.

 

[The Podium]

Meh, wasn’t my first pick but not a bad pickup I guess.

Likely pushes Kampf to the 4th line, with potential to move up the lineup when needed.

There’s the Mikheyev replacement, with more versatility

 

[bentharbs]

seems like a decent deal (maybe 1 year too long) and fills a hole on the team.

But now they have to trade.

 

[Jozay]

4 years is definitely not ideal, but pretty decent player.

 

[zeke]

Last 3yrs: 16:13, 179gms, 18gls/42pts pace, 313fow/319fol

Caphit is fine, term is a bit much.

Except a bit better on the dot and a bit better goal scorer. More of a center although not physical at all. I like it. He is getting paid what Kerf should be getting.

Yeah this feels like a signing that happened quick because something else is in the works.

The Leafs are capped out now and they still have to sign 2 players that should take up around 3M total cap space.

 

[ryno23]

at 2.1 the term is pretty irrelevant as he can be moved at that price especially if the cap goes up as it will. 2.1 is easily moved in today's NHL.

Nice move for a middle 6 guy who will end up being more valuable in the playoffs than regular season

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Probably 1yr too long but that's barely a gripe when you are smack dab in the middle of your contention window. It's not like you guys have too any long contracts besides Reilly anyways so plenty of flexibility, plus a low AAV.

Great signing imo. He can probably benefit any of your lines, or at the very least the bottom 9.

 

[4thline]

Love this, thought we'd be priced out. Something's gotta give

 

[keonsbitterness]

$757K cap space left. Capfriendly is fast!
